A91998	A den of theeves discovered. Or certaine errours and false doctrines, delivered in a sermon at a visitation holden at Baldocke in the county of Hertford, Decemb. 9. 1641. By Henry Denne, curate at Pyrton in Hertfordshire. And since printed by his owne appointment. Contradicted justly by many of the auditors. And confuted by Thomas-Atvvood Rotherham, now rector of St John Zacharies, London, and sometimes vicar of Iclkeford in Hertfordshire, neare Hitchin. Here you have the point of iustification by free grace fully handled, together with many difficult places of Scriptnre [sic] (much abused) plainly expounded; and some speciall cases of conscience resolved, whereby the weakest Christian, in the greatest conflict, may gather true and solid comfort. With severall tables very necessary and usefull for the reader. Published by authority.	Rotherham, Thomas Atwood, d. 1657.	1643 (1643)	Wing R2000; Thomason E251_3; ESTC R212516	114,466	110

that_o it_o be_v so_o the_o second_o absurdity_n will_v be_v this_o that_o where_o there_o be_v not_o assurance_n there_o be_v no_o faith_n faith_n be_v as_o he_o conclude_v only_o a_o assurance_n that_o i_o be_o justify_v what_o will_v a_o distress_a conscience_n in_o case_n of_o spiritual_a desertion_n do_v this_o doctrine_n make_v he_o desperate_a for_o by_o this_o he_o argue_v the_o case_n thus_o faith_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o assurance_n to_o i_o in_o my_o conscience_n that_o i_o be_o justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o i_o want_v this_o assurance_n therefore_o i_o be_o
